In order to do a shared key fake authentication,​ you need to have a PRGA (pseudo random ​genration ​algorithm) xor file to feed into it. We will look at the detailed steps to obtain this in a typical scenario. ​ Then use the PRGA xor file to do a fake authentication.

In the response above, you can see that ath0 is in monitor mode, on the 2.452GHz frequency which is channel 9 and the Access Point shows the MAC address of your wireless card. Only the madwifi-ng drivers show the MAC address of the card in the AP field, other drivers do no. So everything is good. It is important to confirm all this information prior to proceeding, otherwise the following steps will not work properly.
